May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and Skinceuticals is sponsoring free dematologist spot checks to help detect melanoma.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and causes one death in the U.S. every hour, but 99 percent of patients survive with early detection. May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and while we've all heard the steps for preventing melanoma time and time again — wear sunscreen, avoid tanning, keep an eye on suspicious moles and skin markings — it's not often we take action about that last part. The Skin Cancer Foundation encourages getting an annual exam from a dermatologist, but this often falls even more by the wayside than annual physicals and dental appointments.

To make things a little easier, SkinCeuticals is encouraging everyone to "prevent, protect and get checked." They're offering free spot checks at participating dermatologists around the country. Click here to find a doctor in your area.
